This nonprovisional application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 11/964,671, which was filed on Dec. 26, 2007, and which is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/EP2005/006798, which was filed on Jun. 23, 2005, and which are both herein incorporated by reference.

The present invention relates to compositions composed of synthetic polymers and coordination-polymeric triethanolamineperchlorato(triflato)metal inner complexes, and to stabilizer systems comprising the inner complexes. The invention further relates to selected inner complexes and to their preparation.

It is known that halogenated plastics or moulding materials produced therefrom lead to degradation or decomposition reactions when they are exposed to thermal stress or come into contact with high-energy radiation, for example ultraviolet light.

To stabilize PVC, for example, before processing, heavy metal stabilizers based on Cd, Pb, Sn and Zn or toxicologically less dangerous metals such as barium have been used to date in industry. In these cases, the already harmful effect—with regard to improved absorbability and compatibility in warm-blooded organisms—is additionally increased by conversion to organic metal compounds based on fatty acids, e.g. laurates, stearates and oleates, or by virtue of transformation to organo derivatives (organometallic compounds or metal organyls), especially in the case of tin. Specifically in the latter case, the alkylation of the metal to form a metal-carbon bond which is hydrolysis-stable even under metabolic conditions provides a gastric juice-resistant system which is capable of overcoming the blood-brain barrier in order to develop a possibly neurotoxic potential.

These problems affect not only the users of finished PVC articles but also their manufacturers, which incorporate such heavy metal stabilizers in the PVC substrate. Also affected are the producers of these stabilizers themselves, which convert heavy metal precursors to precisely these stabilizers.

In addition to the toxic effect on warm-blooded organisms, these metals and their (organic) compounds or organo compounds have “ecotoxic action”, i.e. a harmful effect on fish, crabs and other seawater and freshwater organisms; see “List of Priority Hazardous Substances” agreed at the Third North Sea Conference (The Hague, March, 1990). This list includes zinc as well as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury. See also Guideline 2000/60/EC (Determination of the List of Priority Substances in the Field of Water Policy—last update November, 2001) and the “Progress Report” of the Fifth North Sea Conference (Bergen, March, 2002), which states that, among others, the objective values for zinc were not met. In addition, in the sewage sludge directive of the German Federal Environment Office (BGB1. I p. 1492, last update 25.04. 2002), maximum amounts for heavy metals, specifically Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Hg and Zn, are fixed. It is also possible for inorganic heavy metal salts, through the mechanism of biomethylation present in nature, to be converted to highly neurotoxic compounds. What should be contemplated here are especially trimethyllead and trimethyltin compounds. Organic stabilizers based on the elements C, H, N, O are converted in refuse incineration to CO₂, H₂O and ammonium compounds, all of which are biocompatible. Heavy metal compounds, in contrast, are not degraded, and are thus persistent and therefore bioaccumulate.

The substitution of heavy metal stabilizers by organic compounds should therefore be an important contribution to achieving this aim. In the UK and Denmark, the use of Pb stabilizers in PVC drinking water pipes was banned at the end of 2002 and 2003 respectively. In Denmark, this ban is additionally combined with the requirement not to use Sn stabilizers instead of PB stabilizers. Other countries such as Sweden, Norway and Finland wish to follow this ban. An EU-wide lead ban is currently being negotiated in the competent authorities.

There is thus a need for organic (“green”) stabilizers which are free of heavy metals/heavy metal compounds or other toxicologically unsafe metals/metal compounds, and are especially free of lead, tin and barium.

Alkali metal or alkaline earth metal perchlorate salts in the presence of metal soaps are costabilizers for flexible PVC which have been known for some time, especially in the motor vehicle sector, and this additive is intended to retard PVC discoloration in backmoulded PU injection mouldings (JP 59184240, JP 6219732, JP 03097748, U.S. Pat. No. 4,957,954, EP 273766 A, JP 03126745).

Later, it was found that the addition of inorganic perchlorate salts leads to an improvement in the efficacy of organically stabilized (heavy metal-free=Zn- and Pb-free) rigid PVC (EP 768336 A2).

A further inorganic perchlorate salt-containing stabilizer is likewise known from Japan. This is an anion-modified hydrotalcite. It is likewise used principally in flexible PVC (EP 522810 A2).

Recently, two applications which describe the replacement of inorganic perchlorate salts by onium salts, specifically ammonium perchlorate salts, have been published (DE 10160662 A1, DE 10214152 A1). Two further applications for uses in the PVC sector likewise come from Japan; they comprise, inter alia, compounds including triethanolammonium (TEA) perchlorate (JP 61009451) or trialkylethanolammonium perchlorate surfactants (JP 1090242), which can find use as antistats. In addition, there exists another larger group of Japanese patents which claim tetraalkylammonium perchlorate surfactants as antistatic components in PVC. Also worthy of mention in this connection are DE 2540655A and the publication by S. Riethmayer in Gummi, Asbest, Kunststoffe (GAK), [4], 298-308 (1973).

A further modification (on an inorganic basis) of alkali metal perchlorate salts is accomplished by addition of calcium hydroxide (DE 10124734 A1). This dry mixture is obtained by an “in situ” process from aqueous perchlorate salt solution and burnt lime.

It is also known that melamine and hydantoin can be blended with perchlorate salts and these mixtures can be used as PVC thermal stabilizers (JP 53016750). However, the examples cited there usually use large amounts of plasticizer or immensely high proportions of calcium stearate and/or large amounts of inorganic fillers. For the stabilization of rigid PVC, though, these systems are unsuitable.

Moreover, it is known that primary alkanolamines can be complexed with zinc glutamate or sulphate. Also described in EP 394547 A2 are stabilizer systems for PVC which include liquid alkali metal or alkaline earth metal perchlorate complexes with polyols as components. N-containing polyols as complex ligands and complexes in solid form are not claimed. It is also known that alkanolamines can be used together with perchlorate salts as PVC thermal stabilizers (WO 02/48249). Solid solutions or complexes or even inner complexes are not described there. In addition, solutions of metal perchlorate salts in glycols or glycol ethers as stabilizer constituents are claimed (WO 94/24200). In addition, absorbates of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal perchlorates on zeolites or calcium silicate have been described many times before in patents, such as in EP 768336 A2 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,443, and also in U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,108. However, these are mentioned specifically as stabilizer components in EP 1404756 A1.

All of these publications are characterized by further numerous disadvantages:

1. Virtually all inorganic perchlorate salts melt at above 250° C., usually above 300° C., and decompose as they do so. They are therefore difficult to disperse homogeneously in the polymer substrate and difficult to digest. Moreover, owing to their granularity, they often form spots and inclusions in the finished moulded article. Fine grinding of the perchlorate salts, which might provide a remedy, is technologically difficult to carry out. 2. Inorganic perchlorate salts are in most cases hygroscopic and cake or agglomerate in the course of storage. This is shown by the fact that magnesium perchlorate is even used as a desiccant. 3. Inorganic perchlorate salts on supports, such as calcium silicate or zeolites, are not usable universally. Transparent rigid PVC products cannot be produced with these additives. 4. Aqueous solutions or solutions of these salts in an organic solvent can be used in principle, but, firstly, water in the stabilizer system leads to incompatibility and interreaction in the polymer, and to bubble formation. Secondly, addition of organic solvents in rigid PVC leads to a lowering of the Vicat value (80° C.), and to volatile organic vapours in the course of extrusion and calendering (VOC problems). 5. Particular organic perchlorate salts, specifically primary, secondary and tertiary amine perchlorates are dangerous to handle owing to their tendency to decompose spontaneously as NH perchlorates, and ammonium perchlorate, as the last member in this series, is even used as a rocket fuel component. Moreover, amine perchlorates are not optimal in relation to their melting points. Quaternary ammonium perchlorates have not been described before as thermal stabilizers for PVC, but have only a modest performance as such stabilizers. 6. The amines on which the amine perchlorates are based generally have a highly degrading effect in PVC (e.g. nicotinic esters, formamide and trioctylamine).

Quaternary ammonium perchlorates which have been proposed as PVC antistats and whose thermally stabilizing action in PVC is mentioned should be treated with scepticism, since it has been found that precisely this compound class has thermally degrading action in PVC.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide compositions and stabilizer systems which alleviate the disadvantages of the prior art at least partly.

The object is achieved by a composition comprising at least one synthetic polymer and at least one coordination-polymeric triethanolamineperchlorato(triflato)metal inner complex comprising the monomer unit of the formula (A):

where

Mt=Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Zn; An=OClO₃ or OS(O₂)CF₃;

q=1 or 2.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 a is a micrograph of a TEAP crystal at a first scale; and

FIG. 1 b is a micrograph of a TEAP crystal at a second scale.

It has been found that the inventive inner complexes (A) do not have at least some of the disadvantages outlined in points 1-6. For instance, the novel compounds often exhibit a sharp m.p., and usually also melt at a lower temperature and without decomposition. The melting points are higher than 80° C. but usually below 200° C., i.e. they have no adverse effect on the Vicat (80° C.) value of the finished moulding and melt homogeneously at the processing temperatures, which prevents spot formation and solid particle inclusion. It is thus possible to produce transparent PVC articles. Homogeneous product distribution is ensured in the course of hot mixing. The powder blends are not tacky owing to the lack of hygroscopicity, do not cake, do not agglomerate and are free-flowing. The products can be stored under air without loss of quality. The solids do not have any sharp-edged crystals, i.e. do not have an abrasive effect in the course of processing. The incorporation into a stable cage structure (metallatrane cage or aza cage) phlegmatizes the perchlorate group.

The thermally stabilizing action of these inner complexes, particularly in the form of two-substance and three-substance combinations with initial colour improvers (ICIs) and hydrogen chloride scavengers (SCVs) is enhanced significantly compared to that mentioned in the prior art (PA). These product properties were surprising. Perchlorato-TEA inner complexes (TEA=triethanolamine) of lithium, sodium, strontium and barium have been described before in J. G. VERKADE et al., Inorg. Chem. 33, 2137 (1994). For some of these inner complexes, an X-ray structural analysis (XSA) has already been carried out. For the sodium and barium inner complexes, the following stoichiometry is found [(TEA)NaOClO₃]_(n) and [(TEA)₂Ba(OClO₃)₂]₂, the degree of oligomerization or polymerization being evident from the XSA. The inner complexes are anhydrous. In the case of the sodium inner complex*) with the m.p. of 129-130° C., the XSA shows the following image: the sodium cation has four ligands in the coordination sphere; a TEA group acts as a tetradentate, non-bridging κ-N O³ ligand, two bridging non-chelating TEA groups (μ-ligands) and a perchlorate anion with monodentate bonding. This gives rise to a total coordination number of seven for sodium. Since the perchlorate anion functions as a perchlorato ligand, these substances are included in the class of the inner complexes. Surprisingly, such inner complexes are suitable in stabilizer systems for synthetic polymers and in compositions comprising them. The synthetic polymer is preferably a halogenated polymer, especially PVC. Owing to the particular suitability for halogenated polymers, reference is made to them below in the description of the invention. ¹⁾ abbreviated to TEAP in this patent document.

However, it should be emphasized that non-halogenated synthetic polymers can also be stabilized in the context of the present invention. The suitability of such a complex structure is also surprising because the prior art (D. S. VAN ES in Catalytic Heat Stabilizers: Fact or Fiction?—9^(th) Intern. PVC Conf., Brighton, Apr. 2005) states that perchlorate salts stabilize PVC effectively only when a “bare” perchlorate anion and hence a likewise “bare” metal cation are present. This can be equated with a non-coordinating perchlorate anion and a non-coordinating metal cation, which cannot be reconciled with the structural features outlined for (A). All inventive compounds are solids and comprise TEA as a tertiary alkanolamine as a complex ligand.

It was also surprising that this specific ligand property of TEA, since the introduction of additional methyl groups (conversion from the tertiary alkanolamine TEA to the tertiary alkanolamine TIPA) changes this complexation feature to such an extent that an attempt to prepare and isolate solid homologous TIPA complexes fails. It is likewise impossible to introduce a single methyl group or a long-chain (surfactant) radical into the TEA ligand, since the stable inner complex (cage) structure is disturbed here too.

The present invention further provides inner complexes of the formula (A), as specified above, where Mt=Li, Na or Ca; q=1 or 2 and An=OClO₃ or OS(O₂)CF₃; preferably, Mt=Li, Na; q=1 and An=OClO₃.

The present invention further provides inner complexes in which Mt=Ca and q=2.

The following inner complexes are listed (where the following abbreviations are used: perchlorato=Pc and triflato=Tf):

[(TEA) NaPc] [A-1], [(TEA) NaTf] [A-2], [(TEA) LiPc] [A-3], [(TEA) LiTf] [A-4], [(TEA) KPc] [A-5], [(TEA) KTf] [A-6], [(TEA)₂ Mg(Pc)₂] [A-7], [(TEA)₂ Mg(Tf)₂] [A-8], [(TEA)₂ Ca(Pc)₂] [A-9], [(TEA)₂Ca(Tf)₂] [A-10], [(TEA)₂ Sr(Pc)₂] [A-11], [(TEA)₂ Sr(Tf)2] [A-12], [(TEA)₂Zn(Pc)₂] [A-13], [(TEA)₂ (Zn/Tf)₂] [A-14], [(TEA)₂Ba(Pc)₂] [A-15], [(TEA)₂Ba(Tf)₂] [A-16].

The inventive inner complexes (A) are preferably used in the halogenated polymer at appropriately 0.001 to 5 phr, preferably 0.01 to 3 phr and very particularly 0.01 to 2 phr.

The inner complexes (A) may be combined with further substance groups as follows:

X′═O or S;

R^(1a)═H, C₁₋₂₂-alkyl, cyclohexyl, (meth)allyl, oleyl, phenyl, benzyl, phenethyl, (tetrahydro)naphthyl or meth(or eth)oxypropyl(or ethyl); R³=unbranched or branched C₂-C₂₀-alkylene which may be interrupted by 1 to 4 oxygen or sulphur atoms and/or may be substituted by 1 to 4 OH groups, or dimethylolcyclohexane-1,4-diyl, polyethylene(or -propylene) glycol-α,ω-diyl (preferably, poly=tetra to deca), polyglyceryl-α,ω-diyl (preferably, poly=tetra to deca) or glyceroltriyl, trimethylolethane(or -propane)triyl, pentaerythritoltri(or -tetra)yl, bis(trimethylolethane(or -propane)tri(or -tetra))yl, diglyceroltri(or -tetra)yl, tetritoltetrayl, triglyceroltri(or -tetra, -penta)yl, pentitolpentayl, dipentaerythritolpenta(or -hexa)yl and hexitolhexayl; n=2, 3, 4, 5 or 6; R⁵═H or (C₃-C₁₀-alkylidene)_(1/2); where this alkylidene may be interrupted by up to 2 oxygen atoms or may have up to 2 substituents selected independently from the group consisting of OH, phenyl and hydroxyphenyl; R⁶═H, hydroxy-C₂-C₄-alkyl, 3-C₁-C₁₀-alkoxy-2-hydroxypropyl, or mono- to trihydroxy-, mono- to tri-C₁-C₄-alkyl- or/and mono- to tri-C₁-C₄-alkoxyphenyl, allyl, mono- to trisubstituted phenyl; R⁷, R^(7′) are each independently branched and unbranched C₁-C₄-alkyl, phenyl, cyclohexyl; W═CO₂CH₃, CO₂C₂H₅, CO₂ ^(n)C₁₂H₂₅ or CO₂C₂H₄—S—^(n)C₁₂H₂₅; L, T=unsubstituted C₁₋₁₂-alkyl; and m and n′ are each integers of 0 to 20, k is 0 or 1 and R and R′ are each independently ethylene, propylene, butylene or an alkylene- or cycloalkylenebismethylene group of the —(C_(p)H_(2p)—X″—)_(t)C_(p)H_(2p)— type where p is an integer of 2 to 8, t is an integer of 0 to 10 and X″ is oxygen or sulphur.

The radicals specified in brackets are further alternative radicals; for instance, polyethylene (or -propylene) glycol means polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol. This also applies hereinafter.

Likewise surprising was the finding that the combination of inner complexes (A) with aminocrotonates or dihydropyridines (B-2, C-1, C-2) improves the transparency behaviour. For instance, transparencies of more than 90% can be achieved when formulation constituents which otherwise impart transparency are used.

which is bonded directly to carbon, oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur atoms, and in which either R₃ and R₅ are both hydrogen, R₄ is hydrogen or methyl and n=0, or in which R₃ and R₅ together are —CH₂—CH₂— or —CH₂—CH₂—CH₂—, R₄ is then hydrogen and n=0 or 1.

I) Glycidyl and β-methylglycidyl esters obtainable by reacting a compound having at least one carboxyl group in the molecule and epichlorohydrin or glyceryl dichlorohydrin or methylepichlorohydrin. The reaction is effected appropriately in the presence of bases.

The compounds having at least one carboxyl group in the molecule employed may be aliphatic carboxylic acids. Examples of these carboxylic acids are glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, or dimerized or trimerized linoleic acid, acrylic and methacrylic acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and pelargonic acid, and also the acids mentioned for the organic zinc compounds.

However, it is also possible to use cycloaliphatic carboxylic acids, for example cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, 4-methyltetrahydrophthalic acid, hexahydrophthalic acid or 4-methylhexahydrophthalic acid.

In addition, it is possible to use aromatic carboxylic acids, for example benzoic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, trimellitic acid or pyromellitic acid.

It is likewise also possible to use carboxyl-terminated adducts, for example of trimellitic acid and polyols, for example glycerol or 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)propane. Further epoxide compounds usable in the context of this invention can be found in EP 0 506 617.

II) Glycidyl or β-methylglycidyl ethers obtainable by reacting a compound having at least one free alcoholic hydroxyl group and/or phenolic hydroxyl group with a suitably substituted epichlorohydrin under alkaline conditions, or in the presence of an acidic catalyst and subsequent alkali treatment.

These amines are, for example, aniline, N-methylaniline, toluidine, n-butylamine, bis(4-aminophenyl)methane, m-xylylenediamine or bis(4-methylaminophenyl)methane, but also N,N,O-triglycidyl-m-aminophenol or N,N,O-triglycidyl-p-aminophenol.

However, the N-glycidyl compounds also include N,N′-di-, N,N′,N″-tri- and N,N′,N″,N′″-tetraglycidyl derivatives of cycloalkyleneureas, such as ethyleneurea or 1,3-propyleneurea, and N,N′-diglycidyl derivatives of hydantoins, such as of 5,5-dimethylhydantoin or glycoluril and triglycidyl isocyanurate.

IV) S-Glycidyl compounds, for example di-S-glycidyl derivatives which derive from dithiols, for example ethane-1,2-dithiol or bis(4-mercaptomethylphenyl)ether.

V) Epoxide compounds having a radical of the above formula, in which R₁ and R₃ together are —CH₂—CH₂— and n is 0, are bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyl)ether, 2,3-epoxycyclopentylglycidyl ether or 1,2-bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyloxy)ethane. An epoxy resin with a radical of the above formula in which R₁ and R₃ together are —CH₂—CH₂— and n is 1 is, for example, (3′,4′-epoxy-6′-methylcyclohexyl)methyl 3,4-epoxy-6-methylcyclohexanecarboxylate.

In flexible PVC, combinations of TEAP with 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol diglycidyl ether [118b] are very particularly preferred. Very particularly suitable initial colour improvers here are aminocrotonic esters and dihydropyridines.

Use of (A) as an Antistat or Antistat Component (AS)

EP 0 751 179 A1 describes alkali metal perchlorates and triflates as antistat components. They function in the presence of polyglycol mono-fatty acid esters. One disadvantage is the limited solubility of these salts in the esters mentioned. It has been found that, surprisingly, the inventive inner complexes (A) have a very good solubility herein and display good antistatic properties.

Polymer substrates of this type include: rigid PVC, flexible PVC, semirigid PVC, CPVC, CPE, PVDC, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, HIPS, PU, PA, PC, PET, PBT, TPU, PMMA, PVA, ABS, SAN, MBS, MABS, NBR, NAR, EVA, ASA, and EPDM.

a=an integer greater than or equal to 2, b=an integer of 1 to 6, and c, d, d′, d″ are each independently 0 or 1.

When substituents in the compounds of the formula (F) are alkyl having 1 to 24 carbon atoms, useful radicals therefor are those such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, eicosyl, docosyl and tetracosyl, and corresponding branched isomers.

When substituents in the compounds of the formula (F) are alkenyl having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, these radicals derive from the alkyl radicals mentioned, the double bond preferably being arranged in the middle of the hydrocarbon chain. A particularly preferred alkenyl radical is oleyl. When d is 1, R⁹ as alkenyl is preferably also CH₂═CH— or CH₂═CCH₃—.

In the compounds of the formula (F), a is preferably a number from 2 to 20 and most preferably a number from 2 to 14.

In the compounds of the formula (F), b is preferably a number from 2 to 6 and most preferably the number 4.

In the compounds of the formula (F), c is preferably the number 0 or 1 and, most preferably, c is the number 0 and d is the number 1.

Individual preferred compounds are lauric diethanolamide, myristyldiethanolamine, sodium octadecylsulphonate and sodium bis(octadecylphosphate). The presence of component (A), in many cases, owing to the inherent properties, permits a reduction in the amount of expensive antistats used.

Definitions and examples of further additives such as impact modifiers and processing aids, gelling agents, biocides, metal deactivators, flame retardants, antifogging agents and compatibilizers are described in “HANDBUCH DER KUNSTSTOFFADDITIVE”, R. Gächter/H. Müller, Carl Hanser Verlag, 3rd Ed., 1989, and 4th Ed., 2001, and in “HANDBOOK OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE FORMULATING” E. J. Wickson, J. Wiley & Sons, 1993, and also in “PLASTICS ADDITIVES” G. Pritchard, Chapman & Hall, London, 1st Ed., 1998. Impact modifiers are also described in detail in “IMPACT MODIFIERS FOR PVC”, J. T. Lutz/D. L. Dunkelberger, John Wiley & Sons, 1992.

Preference is also given to stabilizer systems which additionally comprise a substituted indole or a urea or an aniline derivative. Examples of suitable compounds are 2-phenyllaurylindole and N,N′-diphenylthiourea, and also phenylurea. Further examples are described in PS-DE 101,07,329 A1. On this subject, see also PS-EP 0,768,336 A1, EP 0,174,412, EP 0,967,245 A1, EP 0,967,209 A1, EP 0,967,208 A1, EP 0,962,491 A1, EP 1,044,968 A1, WO 02/072 684 and WO 02/048 249.

A particular preference lies in the combination of the (A)/(B-1), (B-2), (C-1), (C-2)+SCV or AS blends (especially (D), (E) and (F)) with phosphite esters, the additional phosphite being distearyl pentaerythrityl diphosphite, triphenyl phosphite, tris(nonyl)phenyl phosphite, phenyl didecyl phosphite, poly(dipropylene glycol) phenyl phosphite, tetraphenyl dipropylene glycol diphosphite, tetraisodecyl (dipropylene glycol) diphosphite, tris(dipropylene glycol) phosphite, decyl diphenyl phosphite, trioctyl phosphite, trilauryl phosphite or (nonylphenyl_(1.5)-C₁₂/C₁₃-alkyl)_(1.5)-phosphite.

In the inventive compositions, the compounds of the general formulae (B-1/B-2) or (C-1/C-2)+SCV or AS, to achieve stabilization in the chlorinated polymer, should be used appropriately in an amount of 0.01 to 10, preferably of 0.05 to 5, based on 100 parts by weight of polymer. The inner complexes (A) will be employed in an amount of, for example, 0.001 to 10 parts, appropriately 0.01 to 5 parts, more preferably 0.01 to 3 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of polymer. Preference is given to compositions in which the ratio of the compound of the general formulae (B) and (C) to the inner complexes (A), based on the weight, is in the range of 4:8:1 to 6:30:1.

Preference is given to compositions comprising 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of sterically hindered amine and/or NOR-HALS compound (G1-G5) and/or UV absorber and/or titanium dioxide.

Preferred compositions contain, based on 100 parts by weight of chlorinated polymer, 0.01-10 parts by weight of compound (B) and 0.01-10 parts by weight of compound (C) for 0.001-1 part by weight of the inner complexes (A).

Examples of the chlorinated polymers to be stabilized are polymers of vinyl chloride, of vinylidene chloride, vinyl resins containing vinyl chloride units in their structure, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl esters of aliphatic acids, especially vinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl chloride with esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid and with acrylonitrile, copolymers of vinyl chloride with diene compounds and unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride with diethyl maleate, diethyl fumarate or maleic anhydride, post-chlorinated polymers and copolymers of vinyl chloride, copolymers of vinyl chloride and of vinylidene chloride with unsaturated aldehydes, ketones and others, such as acrolein, crotonaldehyde, vinyl methyl ketone, vinyl methyl ether, vinyl isobutyl ether and the like; polymers of vinylidene chloride and copolymers thereof with vinyl chloride and other polymerizable compounds; polymers of vinyl chloroacetate and of dichlorodivinyl ether; chlorinated polymers of vinyl acetate, chlorinated polymeric esters of acrylic acid and of alpha-substituted acrylic acid; polymers of chlorinated styrenes, for example dichlorostyrene; chlorine rubbers; chlorinated polymers of ethylene; polymers and post-chlorinated polymers of chlorobutadiene and the copolymers thereof with vinyl chloride, chlorinated natural and synthetic rubbers, and mixtures of the polymers mentioned with one another and with other polymerizable compounds. In the context of this invention, PVC is also understood to mean copolymers of vinyl chloride with polymerizable compounds such as acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate or ABS, and the polymers may be suspension polymers, bulk polymers or emulsion polymers.

Preference is given to a PVC homopolymer, also in combination with polyacrylates or polymethacrylates.

Also useful are graft polymers of PVC with EVA, ABS and MBS, as are graft polymers of PVC with PMMA. Preferred substrates are also mixtures of the aforementioned homo- and copolymers, especially vinyl chloride homopolymers, with other thermoplastic or/and elastomeric polymers, especially blends with ABS, MBS, NBR, SAN, EVA, CPE, MBAS, PMA, PMMA, EPDM and polylactones, especially from the group of ABS, NBR, NAR, SAN and EVA. The abbreviations used for the copolymers are familiar to those skilled in the art and mean the following: ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene; SAN styrene-acrylonitrile; NBR acrylonitrile-butadiene; NAR acrylonitrile-acrylate; EVA ethylene-vinyl acetate. Especially useful are also styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers based on acrylate (ASA). Preferred components in this connection are polymer compositions which contain, as components (i) and (ii), a mixture of 25-75% by weight of PVC and 75-25% by weight of the copolymers mentioned. Of particular significance as components are compositions composed of (i) 100 parts by weight of PVC and (ii) 0-300 parts by weight of ABS and/or SAN-modified ABS and 0-80 parts by weight of the copolymers NBR, NAR and/or EVA, but especially EVA.

In addition, useful substances for stabilization in the context of this invention are also especially recyclates of chlorinated polymers, which are the polymers described in detail above which have experienced damage through processing, use or storage. Particular preference is given to PVC recyclate. A further use of the inventive stabilizer combinations is based on imparting antistatic properties to the finished article composed of rigid or flexible PVC. In this way, it is possible to reduce the use of expensive antistats. For this application, preference is given to flexible PVC or semirigid PVC.

The present invention further provides a composition comprising flexible PVC and a stabilizer system which comprises 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol diglycidyl ether.

The invention further provides goods for use (useful articles) which comprise PVC and inventive systems.

Preference is also given to the use of items for use which are notable for a particular fine foam structure. This is the case for rigid PVC, flexible PVC and semirigid PVC. This aspect is particularly important in the case of wallpaper and floors composed of flexible PVC. Normally, heavy metal compounds such as Zn or Sn stabilizers are required as kickers to achieve a fine foam. It has been found that, surprisingly, TEA inner complexes exert a kicker action on isatoic anhydride or N-methylisatoic anhydride, which ensures the achievement of a fine foam structure.

Nor was it foreseeable that the electrical resistance properties of an item for use which comprises TEA inner complexes as one component are improved significantly, which is found to be favourable especially in cable and insulator production and in applications in the semiconductor sector.

In addition, these items (mainly cables) are severed better when stored in water, since the formulations do not contain any zinc soaps and thus no zinc chloride is formed in the course of processing, which, after migration to the plastic surface, worsens the electrical values.

Moreover, in the case of zinc-sensitive applications, mainly in the flexible PVC sector (for example films, roof sheeting) which absolutely need biocidal modification, it is possible to add zinc-containing fungicides, which greatly restricts the use of calcium-zinc stabilizers.

The useable compounds and the chlorinated polymers are known in general terms to those skilled in the art and are described in detail in “HANDBUCH DER KUNSTOFFADDITIVE”, R. Gächter/H. Müller, Carl Hanser Verlag, 3rd Ed., 1989 and 4th Ed. 2001, in PS-DE 197,41,778 A1 and EP 0,967,245 A1, to which reference is hereby made explicitly.

The inventive stabilization is suitable especially for chlorinated polymer compositions which are unplasticized or plasticizer-free or are essentially plasticizer-free compositions, and also for plasticized compositions. Particular preference is given to applications in rigid PVC or semirigid PVC.

The inventive compositions are suitable especially, in the form of formulations for rigid PVC, for hollow bodies (bottles), packaging films (thermoforming films), blown films, “Crash Pad” films (automobiles), tubes, foams, heavy profiles (window frames), light wall profiles, building profiles, films, blister packaging (including that produced by the Luvitherm process), profiles, sidings, fittings, office films, margarine tubs, packaging for chocolates and apparatus casings, insulators, computer casings and constituents of household appliances, and also for electronic applications, especially in the semiconductor sector. These are very particularly suitable for producing window profiles with high whiteness and surface shine.

Preferred other compositions in the form of formulations for semirigid and flexible PVC are suitable for wire sheathing, cable insulation, decorative films, roof films, foams, agrochemical films, pipes, sealing profiles, floors, wallpaper, motor vehicle parts, flexible films, injection mouldings (blow-moulding), office films and films for air-inflated marquees. Examples for the use of the inventive compositions as plastisols are toys (rotomoulding), synthetic leather, floors, textile coatings, wallpaper, coil coatings and underbody protection for motor vehicles. Examples of sintered PVC applications of the inventive compositions are slush, slush mould and coil coatings, and also in E-PVC for films produced by the Luvitherm process. For further details on this subject see “KUNSTSTOFFHANDBUCH PVC”, volume 2/2, W. Becker/H. Braun, 2nd Ed. 1985, Carl Hanser Verlag, p. 1236-1277.

Components (A) and (B-1)/(B-2) and/or (C-1)/(C-2) may be premixed together with other stabilizers or additives or PVC substrates, in which case further stabilizers present may preferably be alkaline earth metal hydroxides, zeolites, hydrotalcites, glycidyl compounds or melamine. Very particular preference is given here to so-called hot mixers which work within a temperature range of 80° C. up to 120° C. In this case, optimal homogenization is achieved. In the presence of PVC powder, stabilizers and further additives diffuse into the PVC grain. One variant consists in performing the mixing operation in a lubricant melt which may comprise calcium stearate or magnesium laurate or magnesium stearate or (hydroxy) stearic acid, in the presence of a calcium hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide, of a basic magnesium, calcium or aluminium salt, or of overbased compounds of magnesium and calcium, or of a polyol or of a zeolite, preference being given to maltitol, lactitol, palatinitol or zeolite A, calcium hydroxide, a basic calcium or magnesium salt or an overbased compound of magnesium or calcium.

Particular preference is given to the embodiment in which components (B-1)/(B-2) or/and (C-1)/(C-2)+SCV (especially (D), (E) and calcium hydroxide or melamine) are initially charged in this melt, and component (A) is metered in, it being possible for components (F) and (G) to be present in the premixture.

Appropriately, the stabilizers can be incorporated in another variant by the following methods: as an emulsion or dispersion (one possibility is, for example, the form of a pasty mixture, one advantage of the inventive system in this administration form is the stability of the paste); as a dry mixture during the mixing of additional components or polymer mixtures; by direct addition to the processing apparatus (e.g. calender, mixer, kneader, extruder and the like) or as solution or melt, or as flakes or pellets in dust-free form as a one-pack.

Particular preference is given to premixtures of component (A) with (B-1)/(B-2) or (C-1)/(C-2) with SCV (especially (D), (E) and calcium hydroxide or melamine), and optionally (F) or/and (G), in compacted form, produced in granulating apparatus, to obtain a non-dusting, non-tacky, free-flowing granule which can be digested very readily when blended with, for example, PVC and during the processing operation. It is highly advantageous, during the finishing (compaction or spraying operation) to add binders, which preferably consist of cellulose ethers or esters (mainly hydroxyethyl-, hydroxypropyl- and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or carboxymethylcellulose). Alternatively, it is also possible to add polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinylpyrrolidone.

In addition to wet granulation, preference is given to dry granulation, which, in the presence of fatty acid salts of magnesium or calcium or metal-free lubricants based on esters or hydrocarbons, leads to a non-dusting free-flowing cylinder granule. In the presence of lubricants, preferably ester waxes, flakes, slugs or pellets are obtained in the melt granulation and are very easily dispersible in PVC.

The polymer stabilized in accordance with the invention can be prepared in a manner known per se, for which the inventive stabilizer mixture and any further additives are mixed with the polymer using apparatus known per se, such as the processing apparatus mentioned above. At the same time, the stabilizers can be added individually or in a mixture or else in the form of so-called masterbatches.

The polymer stabilized in accordance with the present invention can be brought into the desired form by known methods. Such methods are, for example, grinding, calendering, extrusion, injection moulding or spinning, and also extrusion blow-moulding. The stabilized polymer may also be processed to foams. The invention thus also provides a process for stabilizing chlorinated polymers by adding the inventive stabilizer mixture to a chlorinated polymer, and also articles which comprise PVC which is stabilized by the inventive stabilizer mixtures.

The invention further provides a process for stabilizing chlorinated polymers by adding an inventive stabilizer system to a chlorinated polymer, especially to flexible PVC or PVC paste. The flexible PVC may be suitable for the manufacture of floors, motor vehicle parts, wallpaper, flexible films, pipes, injection mouldings or preferably for wire sheathing (cables). Alternatively, the chlorinated polymer may also be rigid PVC. The chlorinated polymer may also serve for the production of films (including Luvitherm), PVC pipes or profiles, preferably window profiles.

The inventive inner complexes may be prepared in methanol, ethanol, propanol, triethanolamine or water, and the solvent and any water of reaction are removed by distillation. The distillation residue can subsequently be digested in a nonpolar solvent and be removed by filtration. Alternatively, the synthesis can be effected in an alcohol and the reaction product can then be precipitated by adding a nonpolar solvent.

EXAMPLES

These illustrate the invention in detail. Parts data are based—as also in the rest of the description—unless stated otherwise, on the weight.

1. Synthesis Examples 1.1 Triethanolamineperchlorato(triflato) Inner Complexes 1.1.1 TEA-perchloratosodium (TEAP)-[(TEA)Na(OClO₃)]

In a 1 l pear-shaped flask, 35.2 g of sodium perchlorate monohydrate (NaP*H₂O, 0.25 mol) and 37.3 g of triethanolamine (TEA, 0.25 mol) are dissolved in 100 ml of methanol. The reaction mixture is concentrated to dryness on a rotary evaporator at 72° C. (under reduced pressure towards the end), which also removes the water of hydration. This affords the anhydrous compound in crystalline form. The resulting product is dried in vacuo. Yield 67 g (quantitative), m.p.: 131° C. (sharp).

It is also possible to use aqueous NaP solutions, in which case stoichiometric amounts of TEA, dissolved in methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, THF, acetone or water, are added. Another alternative consists in using NaP(H₂O) suspensions in organic solvents, such as acetone, THF, glycol ethers (dimethoxyethane), isopropanol, dioxane, DMF, DMA, acetonitrile, etc.

The workup can likewise be modified by precipitating the TEA inner complexes from the above solutions by addition of relatively non-polar solvents such as acetic esters, hydrocarbons (aromatic or aliphatic), chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethers (MTBE), in the form of cluster-shaped crystals (see FIG. 1). These modifications may also be applied to the examples which follow.

The reaction mixture is concentrated to dryness on a rotary evaporator at 72° C. (under reduced pressure towards the end), which also removes the water of hydration.

2. Application Examples 2.1 Studies of Dehydrochlorination (DHC) 2.1.1 Preparation of the Powder Samples

A 1 l pear-shaped flask is initially charged with 5 or 10 g (corresponds to 100 phr) of PVC a) and the additives according to the table examples are added. The mixtures consist of 1.6 phr of HCl scavenger (SCV), 0.4 phr of initial colour improver (ICI) and the appropriate amounts of TEAP booster (0.16 phr). Subsequently, 50 ml of methanol are added and this slurry is concentrated to dryness on a rotary evaporator at 72° C./reduced pressure. The resulting powder mixtures are homogenized in an Achat mortar. (The method is preferably for one or two liquid additives. When all additives are solid, sole homogenization can be effected in the Achat mortar, and the process of MeOH slurrying can be dispensed with.)

2.1.2 Performance of the Dehydrochlorination Measurements

The DHC is a measure of the HCl elimination of PVC, which takes place on thermal stress. The eliminated hydrochloric acid is flushed with nitrogen gas into a reservoir comprising dist. water, and the rise in conductivity in microsiemens per centimetre (μS/cm) is measured there. The characteristics used are the accompanying minute values (min). The longer the time interval to achieve a particular conductivity, the more thermally stable is the PVC sample. Instrument type: PVC thermomat 763 (from Metrohm)

The measurements were effected to DN 53381 Part 1, Method B: Conductivity measurement.

Parameters:

-   -   Initial sample weight: 500±5 mg     -   Temperature: 180° C.     -   Flow: 7 l/h (nitrogen 5.0)     -   Absorption vol.: 60 ml (demineralized water)     -   Evaluation: t₁₀, t₅₀ and t₂₀₀ (conductivity of 10, 50 and 200         μS/cm—data in minute values)

Measurement: after the powder samples have been weighed into the reaction vessels, the measurement vessels are filled with demineralized water and equipped with conductivity electrodes. On attainment of the measurement temperature (180° C.), the closed reaction vessels are transferred to the heating block and coupled to the measurement vessels via the appropriate pipe connections, and the measurement is started. The stability criteria used are the t₁₀, t₅₀ and t₂₀₀ values.

It is evident that the inventive formulation (Experiment 2), compared to unstabilized PVC, has a drastic rise in the thermal stabilization (t₁₀=400%, t₅₀=210% and t₂₀₀=250%).

A comparison of Experiment 23 (CaH with sodium perchlorate) with Experiment 3 (CaH with TEAP, based on equal numbers of moles of NaP) shows that, when TEAP is used, a 78% rise is recorded in the t₁₀ value, a 60% rise in the t₅₀ value and a 49% rise in the t₂₀₀ value. Moreover, the comparison of Experiments 24 and 25 (Hytal+NaP and NaZA+NaP) with Experiments 7 and 15 (Hytal+TEAP and NaZA+TEAP) shows a significant improvement in the thermal stability when TEAP is used as a booster.

2.1.3.2.1.2 PA-1^(§§§§)) ^(§§§§)) Specific prior art 1

PS-DE 10124734A1 (PA-1) states that aqueous sodium perchlorate solutions should be applied to calcium oxide in the presence of calcium hydroxide, the water of the solution being bound according to:

CaO+H₂O→Ca(OH)₂

this results in a solid which comprises, as components, NaClO₄ (or NaClO₄*H₂O) and Ca(OH)₂.

These substances are used as PVC thermal (co)stabilizers. In a series, the products obtained by given processes were compared with CaH/TEAP (1.6/0.16 phr) in equal amounts, with equal CaH amounts, and with equal (molar) amounts of ClO₄, to obtain the following results (Tab. 4).

The patented (PA-1) DHC values are averaged over several experiments. The comparison of Experiment 26 with Experiment 27 shows, with the same total amount of stabilizer (E stab.) (1.76 phr) and equal CaH (1.6 phr), a rise in the t_(10, 50, 200) values by 72%, 54% and 44%. An additional factor is that the NaP content in Experiment 27 is increased by a factor of 2, which greatly increases the proportional cost factor. A comparison of the patented PA-1 internal mixtures with unpatented external mixtures (Experiment 27, 29) shows a poorer performance for the former (patented). A comparison shows that, with equal CaH and NaP (Experiment 26 compared to patented Experiment 30), there is an improvement in effect in relation to the t_(10, 50, 200) values by 72%, 48% and 34%. Moreover, the PVC powder samples, after the end of the experiment, in the patented (PA-1) experiments (27, 28, 29), show a significantly darker colour, even though the thermal stress (180° C.) of the PA samples at 279, 164 and 300 min was significantly lower than the inventive Experiment 26, which was thermally stressed over a period of 403. The unpatented Experiment 29 likewise has a significantly lighter yellow colour after longer thermal stress.

2.1.3.2.1.3 PA-2^(‡‡‡‡‡)) ^(‡‡‡‡‡)) Specific prior art 2

PS-DE 10160662A1 and DE 10214152A1 (PA-2) claim onium (ammonium) perchlorate salts as heat (co) stabilizers. In one series, the closest compounds (PA-2) were compared with inventive CaH/TEAP systems in equal use amounts (CaH+booster=1.6+0.16 phr) (Tab. 5 and 6).

The quality factors (improvement in performance) of the inventive system (Experiment 31) compared to Experiment 32 are 41%, 37% and 28%; compared to Experiment 33, 38%, 115% and 104%; and compared to Experiment 34 (all PA-2), 300%, 221% and 176%, with regard to the t_(10, 50, 200) values. This demonstrates clear superiority over PA-2. Moreover, the samples according to PA-2, after the thermal stress, are more strongly coloured than the inventive samples, even though the thermal stress times of 327, 206 and 152 min are significantly lower than that of 420 min for Experiment 31.

What is conspicuous is the moderate finding for 33 (TREHAP), which, in a formal sense, is similar to TEAP (exchange of H for Na). The improvement in performance for this compound is reported above. In terms of activity, Experiment 34 (TEHAP) declines even further, which is probably because it is not an amine perchlorate but rather a (true) (amm)onium perchlorate, and the onium salt structure exerts a contrary (destabilizing) effect.

The amine perchlorates 31 and 32 are, as NH perchlorates, critical in their handling, since they are shock-sensitive and explosive. Equally, perchloric acid is absolutely necessary for their preparation, which has specific labelling requirements as a risk substance with the symbol for irritant and the R statement 5-8-35.

In addition, it is evident that the combination of acetoguanamine/TEAP (Experiment 42), compared to Experiment 41 (without TEAP), is significantly more thermally stable (t₁₀=265%, t₅₀=317%, t₂₀₀=445%).

2.2.2 Performance of the Examination

Test strips (16 mm×300 mm) are cut out of the rolled sheets produced according to Example 2.2.1. They are stressed at 180° C. until they darken in colour (burn) in a Mathis thermotester (LTE type; feed: 5 mm, base time 5 or 45 min, cycle time 5 min). Thereafter, the YI (yellowness index) is determined to DIN 53381¹²⁾ and compared to the YI of the unstressed rolled sheet (zero minute value). The results of a few representatives are compiled in Tab. 14. The higher the YI, the yellower (darker) the sample. The lower the YI, the lighter the sample and the better the result.

It is clearly evident that the overall performance can be vastly improved by adding TEAP (comp. A) instead of NaP. For instance, the rises in the case of the NaZA/DMAU/TEAP vs. NaZA/DMAU/NaP system (2 vs. 4) are an initial improvement in colour (ICI—10 min) of 147%, an improvement in the colour retention (CR—30 min) of 199% and an increase in the long-term stability (LTS—60 min) of 80%.

For the alternative MeI/DMAU/TEAP vs. NaZA/DMAU/NaP system (3 vs. 4), the improvements are 242% for the IC (10 min), 242% for the CR (30 min), and 36% for the LT (60 min).

In the case of the CaH (c)/DMAU/TEAP vs. NaZA/DMAU/NaP system (1 vs. 4), the rates of rise are 195% for the IC (10 min), 348% for the CR (30 min), and 87% for the LT (60 min).

For the likewise alternative CaH(c)/Mono-DHP-1/TEAP vs. NaZA/DMAU/NaP system (6 vs. 4), increases of 195% for the IC (10 min), of 362% for the CR (30 min), and of 37% for the LT (60 min) are recorded.

A drastic improvement in the performance is found.
